(Correspondence of Associated Preaa.) V Hi NX A, Austria, Dec. . An early peace la not looked for by the Austro llungarlun government. Whilo no offl clul statement to thla effect has been made, or for that matter would bo made, the war measures now In hand ami those contemplated indicate that a cessation of hostilities In the near future la moft un likely. Military prei rations continue to be mado throughout the dual empire, as tho Associated Preaa correspondent was able to olMierve on a recent trip over a considerable part ot Austria and Hun gary. Along many of the principal lines In eastern and northern Hungary military field works are being laid out on a large scale and the two principal cities of the empire, Vienna and Buda pest, are being prepared for defense In a like manner. To the north and eaat of Vienna no less than nine lines of defense may be observed, and the field work of Budapest are even more extensive. Home of the entrenchments, redoubts and ar tillery emplacements which constitute these works were established some time ago, to judge by their settled appearance, but more are being laid out. Thousands of men and a large number of excavating machines are employed in tho further ex tension of theso precautionary measures. ".applies Stored In f are. In addition to establishing field works along tho railroads, tho trackage of many yurds I being enlarged, and supplies now are being stored In such a manner that they msy bo .used cither for local purposes or easily sent to a front further out, the various braes supplying one an other. The additional tracks have made it possible to keep moat of the supplies In tho oara. so, that at very ahort notice they may be moved aa the exigencies ot the campaign demand. I The establishment of a large cholera ! camp at Zsolna. or Bllleln, as the place la called by the Germans, is further proof that the Auatro-IIungarlan govern ment doos not count upon an eurly ter mination of the war. The coming of wln- I tor hiis virtually eradicated cholora, and j It Is altogether unlikely that this dread disease.' will reappenr until tho ground I thawed. ' Nevertheless, the AuMro Hungarlun government la spending about IfiOO.ooO on the Zaolna cholera camp, in order that It may meet a possible gen eral epidemic next spring. Arrangements have been., made for doubling tho capacity of the ammunition plants In the country. Tho largest of these, that of the Manfred Weiss con cern at Budapest, haa heretofore pro duced more than 2.600,000 rounds of mall arms ammunition dally. This out put has been Increased considerably dur ing the last three weeks, and it la ex pected to reach the enormous total of 5.000.000 rounds per day. The same plant Is extending 1U production of artillery ammunition, out no figures on whst the output has been In the post or will be In the future are available. Meanwhile additional batteries of various types of guns are being made by the rkoda works at Pllsen, Boherr.la. This firm also has been given recently a large contract for more machine guns. Large Armies la Tralala. All the larger Austro-Hungarlan cities have established drill cam pa. The largest of these Is near Budapest, and there some 100, 000 men are either being trained or given a chanoa to recuperate from the hardshlpa of extended service at the front. Near Vienna about 90,000 men are being trained, and there are similar camps at Oras. Prague, Presaburg, Temesvar, Debrecsln, Kausenburg, Klagenfurt, Brunn, O.niutx, l.ini. Agram and other citlea. It is said that these en campments contain at present more than WO.000 men, many of whom would have been called to the colors by conscription thla fall and during Ulfi. Among these reserves also is a large number of vol unteers and levies of olden landwehr. Though the government haa seen fit to keop this news from the foreign and even the home press. It is a fact that re cently a monitor of more powerful type than the Bodrog claas has been put In commission and that another of these veaaela Is now being finished In the Uu dat eat government yards. It Is under stood that two other monitors of this tyie are nearlng completion, and that the keela for a number ot other have been laid. Work on them 1 being rushed. The new monitors have double- the armament ot the Bodrog and Teinea class They are armed with three. Instead of two. long range guna and these are or a s'.iiilitly larger caliber than thoae In stalled on tho Bodrog. Moreover the thiikneas of the turret armor has been materially Increased. Instead of carry ing one high angle piece, aa do the mon itors of the oiler claaa, the new veaaela will be armed with two, In half turrets aft, while the quick fire pieces on the upper deck will be Increased from two to four, and the machine guna from one to alx. It l believed that thla fleet will be an Important factor In the defenae of the Danube and Save rivers. t'oasvrvlag I'm kapply.

These metals are used ta the (Correspori'lcnoe of the Aso iated Press ) VIENNA, Dec. :5 In A ustro-Hungary, an In Oct many, a tenacious adherence to tradition, rather than the lessons of recent military history, has been re sponsible for the retention of various cavalry organizations, which were In tended to take part In war very much in the manner of the camrslens of isc, and ItTO. Though the Boer war. the campaign In Manchuria and more recently the opera- j tiona in tho Balkans had demonstrated, as military experta claimed, that cavalry was a thing of the pat In this era of machine guna, the Austro-Hungarlan am Herman governments continued to main tain lar;e number of these expensive toops. Their value now has been proved to be alight. It la asserted. Already most of the Austro-Hungarlan and C.eiman cavalry regiments have modified their field work considerably no that now they are little more than mounted Infantry. For reconnaiHftance purposes and what, I known as "screen" work the cavalry remains now, as In other ware, . very Important arm. It may also still be used when reinforcements must be sent hur rledly, or when a flank movement of the enemy is to be frustrated, but the old cavalry charge would seem to have been relegated to oblivion. The losses of the cavalry nrganlxationa have been frightfully heavy in the war, It Is said, ao heavy In fsct that they finally have overcome tho strong hold v.'hlcb the cavalry traditions hsd on the military world of Europe. Hereafter cavalry will be used only for field Intelligence, patrol, cover and re inforcement purposes. Outside of that, the men now fight In trenches, aa do the Infantrymen. In the Austro-Hungarlan army much cavalry has been converted Into machine gun personnel. Excellent work hue been done by the men on horseback now and then, but usually In operations not considered here tofore the proper sphere of cavalry. The Honveda of Hungary, for Instance, be came the terror of the "ervtan troops. It is predicted that thei-e will be little cavalry In Kurope after this war.
